In June 2021, SISO published two new standards products:  SISO-GUIDE-005-2021 - Guide for A Standards Profile for the Use of Modeling and Simulation in Support of Acquisition Activities, and SISO-REF-066-2021 - Reference for A Standards Profile for the Use of Modeling and Simulation in Support of Acquisition Activities. 

These SISO products were developed and approved as two volumes.  The SISO Guidance Product identifies a set of modeling and simulation standards and recommended practices as key tools for guiding the international acquisition community in the use of modeling and simulation in activities that take place across the typical acquisition lifecycle.  The SISO Reference Product provides the descriptions and metadata for each modeling and simulation standard and recommended practice identified in the SISO Guidance Product.  

These new products establish a framework that will enable more efficient and effective integration of modeling and simulation applications across the entire acquisition life cycle – to include product development, testing and operations.  The products will evolve and be maintained under the stewardship of a SISO Product Support Group (PSG). The first virtual meeting of the PSG is expected later this year.  (Web page for new PSG currently in development.)
